I am not trying to butt heads at all with the ICCA. I just don't think $30,000 for someone to sanction an event is worth spending. I think $30,000 can buy a shit load of beer.. don't you? > >If you have enough political sense to find a (big!) niche and fit in, this will >stand a better chance of happening and leaving everyone with a good impression. I can stand politics. What I can't stand is a governing body that is simply money hungry. That is my point of going above the ICCA. If they want to sanction the event for _FREE_ then by all means I will co-operate immediately. >You don't need to take over the world yet, the North American continent should >be good enough.

I don't think European players will attend the event if it was called the NACCC. I could be wrong. Wanna find out?
